Dear authors and readers of our journal! A hard and complicated academic year is coming for an end, the year that brought a lot of problems and disappointments, but, as often happens, it also became a kind of motivation to intensify the search for new ideas and ways to implement them.
The June issue opens with a section "In memoriam ..." dedicated to the memory of Irina Trofimovna Suravegina, a talented scientist-educator and successful practitioner, the leader of a scientific school in the area of environmental education.
It is a well known fact that a scientific school is a scientific team or a community of informally interacting scientists, rallied around a scientific leader, sharing his main scientific ideas and implementing a single, usually innovative, research program. The scientific school of I. T. Suravegina fully meets the above-mentioned criteria. The article written by Irina Trofimovna's grateful followers, students, and co-workers presents T. Suravegina's contribution to the methodology, theory and practice of lifelong environmental education based on the analysis of her scientific heritage.
With the loss of the Soviet system of upbringing in Russian education, a certain vacuum arose in the formation of the value-semantic orientations of the younger generation, associated with the blurring of the norms of social life, and hence the goals of educational work. Currently, there is no doubt that the need to improve the educational aspects of education and enlightenment does exist. A number of articles in the issue are devoted to the problems of upbringing: the subjective approach to understanding the personal and developmental potential of the continuous education environment in the internal affairs bodies, the educational potential of family histories, the attitude of students with disabilities to a healthy lifestyle. The legal aspects of pedagogical work involving students with disabilities are still under discussion in a special section of a journal.
Two articles are devoted to the innovative aspects of teaching a foreign language to university students: one of them describes the use of multifunctional tasks for the formation of student foreign language communicative competence, the other covers the role of proofreading in the process of developing academic writing skills in English.
A number of articles are related to the problems of management in education. Our colleague from the Czech Republic draws attention to the personal problems of future preschool teachers, a kind of shock that arises for students in the process of colliding with real pedagogical reality during the period of pedagogical practice. In the articles of domestic authors, the problems of organizing professional tourism education, the formation of professional competencies of a tutor, accompanied by an early development teacher, are raised.
We draw the attention of potential authors to the changes in the article design, especially the requirements for references both in Russian and in English.
We wish you an interesting reading and look forward to new materials and new authors in the new season.
